Sean, Sean, how could you be so depraved? Have you forgotten the plan you made earlier? You can't go on like this.

Tuesday, February 2:

Enlightenment in the bamboo forest.

-----------------

Although it is written like this, Sean is actually still working hard to complete the farm revitalization work according to plan these days.

After a few days of hard work, all the fruit trees in the orchard have been pruned, and we are just waiting for new buds to sprout in the spring and for additional fertilizers to be added.

Research on portable space has also not stopped.

In between practicing sword skills in the bamboo forest, Sean searched hard in the bamboo forest and finally caught a bamboo rat hiding in a hole in the ground. No matter whether it was dying or mixed in with a pile of lifeless objects, no living thing could be put into the portable space no matter what he did.

That night, Shushu was made into braised bamboo rat, and the dish was then put into his space.

After several days of waiting, the dish was taken out without any change in shape. The preliminary conclusion is that objects placed in space are physically in an absolutely static state and do not change.

It can be said that Shushu made a great contribution, so Sean ate two more bowls of rice to repay his kindness.

The guard at the entrance to the coal mine forest is still very tight, with no sign of slacking off at all, and it is unknown how long it will last.

During this period, Sean pretended to pass by whenever he had the chance, hiding on a nearby high slope and observing secretly. From time to time, he saw teams of three coming in and out, probably changing shifts. Each team member had a high-tech watch on his hand for communication, and sometimes they would transport something on a cart.

It is worth mentioning that during this period, Sean worked hard to search for three items that met the requirements for sacrifice in the mountains and forests: saffron, crystal fruit and winter root. There was no extra reward, only three pieces of earth essence.

Sean placed it in the space together with the previous piece. He planned to use it after selecting a site for reclamation and clearing the weed seeds on the land.

Otherwise, you should expect to see a denser patch of weeds next year.

There was also a small incident.

Maybe it was because Sean made a particularly big noise that day;

Maybe the sunlight that day was stronger than usual;

Perhaps the nothing that happened in the past few days paralyzed Sean's nerves, and he did not use his ability to check the surrounding situation in advance.

In the quiet bamboo forest, Sean was using his unpredictable steps, swinging his knife at the bamboo in a disorderly manner, and sometimes doing a somersault when he was in high spirits.

In short, Sean didn't notice at all at that time that there was a poisonous snake not far away that had been awakened from hibernation by him and was recovering its stiff body in the sun.

It quickly spit out its tongue, receiving information from the air.

The flat and long triangular head was held high, and Sean's wild figure was reflected in the red eyes.

With the cover of bamboo leaves, its thick, small and dense scales rolled silently over the bamboo leaves. Its short tail was slightly raised, and it flew towards Sean quietly and swiftly.

The snake accumulated strength in its abdomen and coiled its tail like a spring. In an instant, it leaped high into the air and attacked Sean's torso, who was leaping in the air without any support.

In the blink of an eye, Sean in the air caught a glimpse of a black shadow coming towards him from the bottom. Without time to think, out of biological instinct, he subconsciously swept his hand towards the black shadow, and a cold and slippery feeling came into his mind when he touched it.

Feeling a force changing its trajectory, the poisonous snake turned around and wanted to bite back, but it could not withstand the force and was swept into a pile of bamboo leaves on the side.

He twisted quickly twice on the ground, then stood up again, staring at Sean with sharp eyes, looking for an opportunity to attack again.

Sean, who had just landed, hadn't reacted to all this yet. Regardless of the strange feeling in his hand, he looked in the direction where the black shadow fell.

Viper!

My heartbeat quickened, my adrenaline surged, but I didn't dare move an inch.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, as the man and the snake looked at each other, looking for an opportunity.

The poisonous snake opposite was spitting out its tongue, and its head was raised up and down, and swaying left and right. Sean couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

At this moment, with a whoosh, the bamboo leaves flew away, and the poisonous snake, reflecting the light of its scales, suddenly bounced up.

In a flash, just when the poisonous snake was about to bite Sean, a sack with its mouth wide open suddenly appeared in Sean's hand.

There was no time to dodge and the poisonous snake plunged right in.

He quickly closed the bag, lifted it up and smashed it madly on the ground. He smashed it for more than a hundred times, not caring that the struggle inside the bag had long since subsided, and only stopped when he was exhausted.

It is said that carelessness and complacency lead to danger, while wisdom and courage make one a hero.

His chest heaved up and down as he breathed heavily, and a feeling of weakness spread from his limbs to his mind. Only then did Sean realize that his back was soaking wet.

I activated my ability and scanned the surroundings to make sure it was safe.

He dragged himself up to pick up the hoe beside him, and with some effort, he hit the protruding outline of the bag a few more times.

Only then did he sit down on the ground with relief and recover his strength.

This incident, which narrowly escaped any danger, sounded a wake-up call for Sean, and it helped to reduce his frivolous nature, which had become due to his acquired abilities.

Pierre's grocery store in the evening.

Just like the previous few days, Sean, carrying a large bag of bamboo shoots, started chatting with Pierre, telling him how he remained calm and captured the snake with one hand when it attacked by a venomous snake.

Eventually, the venomous snake was bought by Pierre and used to make medicinal wine, but due to its quality, it was only exchanged for 300g.

In a secluded small town, rumors spread quickly like wings.

A few days later, at the Star Bar, Pierre, who was a little drunk, told the guests his own version of the story of Sean catching the snake, exaggerating it.

Soon the whole town knew the story of the farmer who had just arrived in Pelican Town and fought a group of snakes with his bare hands.

It has been a week since he came to the farm. After closing the account book, Sean couldn't help but feel sad that the numbers on the account had not increased but decreased. He had to keep working hard. It was not enough to just dig bamboo shoots. He had to make use of such a large area of ​​the farm as soon as possible.

As it got dark, Sean got up and prepared dinner.

Cabbage, bacon, stewed vermicelli and braised winter bamboo shoots were served with oil. Most of the ingredients were donated by the town residents a few days ago.

As night falls, the lights are on in the warehouse.

Piles of bamboo segments filled up most of the warehouse, while the remaining small part was filled with sliced ​​bamboo and various tools.

These bamboos piled in the warehouse are the result of Sean's rampage in the bamboo forest over the past few days.

The temperature is about to get warmer, and mid-to-late March will be the sowing season. It's time to prepare the seedling boxes.

Different from traditional wooden seedling boxes, the raw materials for making this seedling box are the bamboo that Sean cut these days.

The idea of ​​using bamboo to make a seedling box originated from a short video Sean accidentally saw before coming to Stardew Valley - how to make a bamboo chair by hand.

Although the things produced are different, they have the same goal, and the production techniques and craftsmanship are still very valuable for reference.

Limited by the price of wood boards, if you cut down trees yourself, it is impossible to cut trees into wood and then cut them into flat wood boards. At that time, this video gave Sean a way to use bamboo as a material to make seedling boxes.

Sean took out the newly purchased liquefied gas tank from the warehouse, connected it to the spray gun, and began to pre-treat the materials.

Pick up a three-meter-long piece of bamboo, take a spray gun and burn the surface of the green skin. After a while, oily water droplets will be secreted from the surface of the bamboo. These water droplets are the product of some wax and dirt on the surface of the bamboo layer that are melted and enriched after high temperature.

Turning off the spray gun, Sean picked up a rag and wiped off the melted wax, a step known as degreasing.

Only after the bamboo is deoiled will its surface become smooth and hard, and it will be resistant to moth and mildew.

After pre-processing the materials, Sean officially began to make the seedling box.

Sean set the specifications of the seedling box to be 80 cm long, 60 cm wide and 15 cm deep.

Take out the 3-meter-long bamboo section that has just been de-oiled, and cut four notches in the length and width of the bamboo with a saw, while sharpening the thinner end of the bamboo section. Then use a chisel to chisel holes at 6-centimeter intervals at the short axis end, and then chisel a thin slit on the inner wall of the long axis end that can fit a bamboo piece.

Take a high-temperature spray gun and bake the surface of the bamboo. Fold the entire bamboo into a rectangle along the four notches. Insert a 20-cm-long bamboo segment into each notch as a fixed support point. These bamboo segments also serve as the four supporting legs of the entire seedling box.

Hold the sharpened end and insert it into the bamboo tube with a thicker diameter, connecting the ends. Then drill a hole at the connection and insert a bamboo piece to fix it.

The four walls of the seedling box are completed like this.

The next step is to make the bottom. Insert bamboo strips into the holes reserved on the short axis as the support beams for the bottom. Then tightly insert bamboo strips into the ends of the long axis and wrap them around the support beams to weave the bottom of the entire seedling box.

Thus, a seedling box made entirely of bamboo was born.

Sean happily held the seedling box to his chest and looked at it from left to right. The smile on his face was a compliment to his own handicraft skills.
